Pace of Play

Our foursome was friendly and we enjoyed the company.

An idea came up for weekends.

It was a very slow pace. The idea is to spread the tee times to every 15 minutes amd raise the green fee by

8$ to 30$ on Saturday’s and Sundays.

It is almost revenue neutral per hour and a more enjoyable round for the golfers. Revenue nuetral would be $33 every 15 minutes.

I live in Orléans, and this is my favorite course for a Friday or Sunday afternoon “practice and play” round of golf with my daughters

Very convenient and always a good challenge for my short game and putting

Expect to play here many time this season

Lovely round

I have nothing negative to say about White Sands. People were friendly, pace was good, course in great shape. If I had one suggestion it would be to plant some trees here and there.
